Chapter 84 Signal (11)
Frondier did not answer Belphegor’s question.
Soon Belphegor sighed.
“Well, your answer has no meaning now.”
Sigh!
He flicked his fingers.
Kugugugu—
His creepy mana spread around for an instant, and soon the surrounding wind began to change.
“You already knew that you were fighting with me, right?”
Along with Belphegor’s voice, something came towards them from all directions.
Those were souls. Countless lives lost in the past.
It wasn’t just humans. The souls of all kinds of monsters also approached Belphegor.
There are many deaths lurking in the land of Mangot.
And all deaths become Belphegor’s blood and nourishment.
Belphegor’s mana increases again after swallowing the soul.
“No matter how hard you try to stop all of Cape Mango’s attacks,”
Belphegor’s eyes opened cold and gloomy.
“It’s no use if you can’t stop me.”
The ground cracked and something crawled out.
They were corpses. They crawled up the ground in their dead form and were summoned.
It wasn’t just humans who came up. The corpses of all kinds of monsters also crawled out of the ground, shaking their bodies as if they had come to life again. Instead of crying, they let out strange screams.
Their numbers are already exceeding the scope of the military.
The power wielded by one Belphegor creates an army that shakes the earth.
“Frondier, unlike you who has already exhausted your mana, the gap between you and me is so cruel in a situation called ‘war’.”
The armies of corpses do not head towards the Frontier. They all went in one direction.
There is no such thing as a formation, and they move forward at the maximum speed they can reach. A group of people who have no physical limitations and everything is controlled by the power of mana.
Wherever they are headed, there is an empire. As corpses, their footsteps don’t even make a proper sound.
The large crowd seemed to be being dragged around like half-melted scrap metal.
“Look at them. “A body without a soul is like a puppet that moves on a string.”
Belphegor turns his displeased gaze towards the army of corpses, even though he created them himself.
“It’s the same with the citizens of the Empire. “They are puppets who are manipulated without knowing the truth.”
“…gibberish.”
Frontier mutters softly.
The corner of Belphegor’s mouth twitches and he looks at Frondier.
“It would be pointless to talk back to me. If the lives of the Empire’s people are so important, go and stop that army now. Can you do it? “Now you don’t even have a single bit of mana left.”
“…Why do you do this?”
“Hoo, is this what you’re doing?”
“If you can command an army that size, why are you still keeping me alive? “I could have killed him a long time ago.”
Belphegor blinked briefly at Frondier’s words and then smiled.
“Isn’t this something you should look into?”
“….”
“How insignificant your struggle was and what it meant for a mere human to attack the devil of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
An army of corpses moves forward, leaving the two behind. Frontier cannot stop them with his exhausted body.
Belphegor looks into Frondier’s eyes and puts both hands forward.
“Frondier. “I just wait for it to get boring.”
Belphegor’s gaze was full of heat, and he smiled as if it was truly enjoyable to wait for it to cool down on its own.

North to the north of the wall.
To Astor, who was in Tavern, the north side of the wall was essentially running west. Tavern is in the northeast of the empire.
Aster borrowed a horse and ran. There was no one to dissuade him. The soldiers actually seemed disappointed that they could not give them better words.
“Hurry, a little faster…!”
The flow of the sky has been strange since before. Aster smelled the smell of death somewhere in the distance.
Although it is a short distance from Tavern, north of the wall, it is from the perspective of the entire empire. For Aster, getting there was painful.
The dangerous situation where Frontier is fighting against the devil is urgent. Besides, Aster doesn’t know what’s on the northern wall yet. I’m just trusting Merlin and heading there.
“Ugh, I liked the horse I rode when chasing the monster in Constell!”
Aster remembers the time when he cut down monsters while riding the famous horse Cassian. There is no point in missing Cassian, who Selena is riding now.
But.
“…?”
From far away, someone is riding this way on a horse. Rather than coming towards Aster, it seemed like it was just running in the opposite direction from Aster.
When I looked a little closer, I saw two people riding on one horse.
When I looked closer, I saw that the person on the horse was a woman.
As soon as I got there, I saw it.
“uh!”
“uh??”
The person on the horse was a face Aster knew.
“Selena!”
“Mr. Aster!”
Selena, her classmate, disappeared a few days before the war. When Aster saw her, he was happy but also had doubts.
“How are you here? And who is the kid in the back?”
May, who was riding on Selena’s back, sticks her head out.
“I live with Frontier.”
“Oh, huh…?”
Aster tilts his head. When I heard it, it looked similar to Frontier.
And it looks like someone else…?
“You live together at Roach Manor?”
“No, dormitory.”
“huh?”
“expected.”
It was an extremely short list of words, but Aster roughly understood them. He looked at Selena again.
“Selena, where have you been all this time? “How are you here?”
“There was something Frontier asked me to do the other day, so I had to take care of it urgently…”
Selena tried to make an excuse somehow.
There is one rule that she has learned from being by Frondier’s side so far.
When you need to tell a lie urgently, you can somehow convince yourself by mentioning Frondier’s name. Either in a good way or in a bad way.
“…As expected of him.”
Aster grinned as if he couldn’t handle it.
also. Selena hid her expression and clenched her fists. This law has been winning over and over again so far.
“So where are we going now?”
“I don’t know.”
“huh?”
“I thought Cassian was heading somewhere, so I was leaving it to him.”
Only then did Aster see the horse Selena was riding.
It was definitely Cassian. The very famous horse that Aster once rode to cut down monsters.
Cassian continued running after picking up Selena and May. As if there is a destination.
And after meeting Aster, Cassian naturally stopped. At first it seemed like it was because Selena and Aster reacted to each other.
“Are you here to see me?”
Astor asked, Cassian looked at Aster once and then at Selena.
Selena said after seeing that.
“…I think he was trying to get us to meet each other.”
This was the order given to Cassian by Frondier.
When Selena reaches the north side of the Wall, pick her up and head to Tavern to meet Aster.
However, Frondier did not expect Merlin to give advice to Aster. Naturally, Aster headed west and Selena headed east.
And now we have met each other.
“…So Mr. Merlin’s advice was to meet you?”
Aster looked at Selena.
Aster doesn’t know what abilities Selena has. Of course, it’s about ‘shadow transfer’.
“…I have to meet everyone.”
“!”
Nevertheless, Aster said. What he needs and needs to do now.
“Frondier is dangerous now. But I can’t do it alone. “Can you help me?”
Selena’s mouth opened slightly and then closed at Aster’s sincere words.
It’s not impossible.
If you use Selena’s shadow transfer.
However, Jeon accompanying someone places a serious burden on Selena. When returning to Gjerranhes, Selena’s body was completely destroyed with just one jump.
However, as Aster said, Frontier is in danger now.
‘But it’s too reckless to just try it blindly. ‘I’ll fall before I even meet everyone.’
After thinking for a moment, Selena’s gaze lands on May.
“…that’s right.”
Selena doesn’t know May’s identity completely, but she knows that she can also transfer shadows.
The two now share almost the same shadow. You can reach the same point.
Selena took May’s hand.
“We can do it together.”
“huh?”
“You can do shadow transfer, right?”
“Oh, that one earlier? “You can do it.”
Selena nodded at him.
‘The reason it’s difficult to transfer is because you have to force open the door that was open to only one person.’
When Selena holds May’s hand, their shadows naturally connect.
“With the two of us, we might be able to maintain that passage. “If it can be maintained, there is no need to expand it.”
“Have you ever tried it?”
May’s question is natural.
To an obvious question, the obvious answer is
“No.”
Selena shakes her head.
“But you have to do it now. May help me.”
“I just follow along.”
“That’s enough.”
May nods at Selena’s words.
Aster, who was watching this, opened his mouth.
“What does that mean?”
In
the middle of Aster’s words, Selena places her hand on his shoulder.
“Let’s go.”
Before Aster could say anything,
two horses and three people.
He suddenly disappeared from the spot.
* * *
Shadow warfare is originally something that each person uses separately.
There was no idea of reaching the same place together. Because there was no reason for that.
However, Selena had already tried to transfer with several people before and knew why it was dangerous.
A shadow is given to one person in proportion to one person’s size.
It is reckless to use more than one person to transfer it as a conduit.
However, if there are two people, one person can transfer while the other person can keep the channel open.
Even if not everyone can transfer at once if the transference channel is not closed.
“…it’s okay?”
At the end of the shadow transfer, May stuck her head out and checked the situation.
“…yes.”
They succeeded.
This is where Cohen, one of the shepherds, is.
Selena can check the status of the person connected to the shadow.
Cohen is dead, and the connection with the dead shadow is naturally severed when all remaining mana in the body disappears.
But not yet, so they could rise above Cohen’s shadow.
So of course.
“Eh? uh? Aster! Selena!”
Cybel, who had calmed down for a moment, checked their appearance.
“wow! “How did you get here? It’s nice to meet you all!”
Cybel stood up and greeted them.
She frowned as if there was still damage from the fight, but her cheerful voice made me forget for a moment that this was a battlefield.
“Sibel!”
Aster shouted as soon as he saw her.
“Let’s meet everyone!”
“…!”
Aster doesn’t know how Selena and May got here.
But I don’t ask about it one by one.
‘The fact that it has been reached’ is enough.
He must move on. You must make choices before caring about personal matters and walk ahead of others.
Although Aster himself does not realize it, that is his quality.
“Meet everyone and let’s go to Frontier!”
“…huh!”
Cybel nodded vigorously as if there was nothing more to hear.
Selena and May’s transfer continued, and those who succeeded in defending the wall battle gathered one by one.
So Elodie and Aten joined and all preparations were completed.
But the problem remained.
“…Hagliga.”
Selena’s eyes narrowed.
“You broke the shadow with me.”
In order for Selena to return to Cape Bay, she has no choice but to move into Hagley’s shadow.
But Hagley cut off the continued shadow. With that paralyzed body, a body that couldn’t even use magic. It was incredible willpower.
“Then what?”
“Let’s ride like this! “There is no time to hesitate!”
“All the kids who can fly, let’s fly! “Once the leader arrives, Selena’s transference will work!”
“I could take a few people with me.”
Those gathered each spoke and it moved toward correct action.
“for a moment.”
As if he was waiting for them all to gather.
The door of a building opened and someone they all knew appeared.
“Isn’t it too late for that?”
Everyone opened their mouths at that appearance.
“President Cho!”
Someone shouted and Ospreet grinned.
Aten muttered in surprise.
“I heard during deployment that you are inside the imperial palace to build a magic circle…”
“That’s right. “I didn’t know who would secretly invade Mangot.”
Ospreet’s role was to create a huge magic circle in the empire and inspect its interior.
So he cannot move until the war is over. Everyone thought so.
“But there is no need for that anymore.”
“There’s no need for that?”
“All the shepherds of Mangot have appeared.”
A few people said “Ah” at those words.
Since the head-on collision between the teachers of Mangot and Constel, all of the shepherds of Mangot have been marked.
“The moment all the shepherds of Mangot were observed, I decided to get out of my role as a magic circle and move. “It was planned from the beginning.”
After hearing those words, everyone admired Ospreet.
However, some of them had a slightly different idea, and
one of them, Aster Evans, decided to ask Ospreet directly.
“Who created that operation?”
At those words, Ospreet looked at Aster for a moment and then smiled.
“Of course, Frontier de Roach. “My best comrade in arms.”
“…!”
This is truly what Frontier has been waiting for.
The reason Selena and Mayra took time in the fight against Belphegor and waited for the arrows to be fired and Mangot and Constell to collide.
To enable the Zodiac Ospreet to move.
“You would have known if you had just seen it.”
Ospreet pointed to the door he had opened earlier.
“I can pass through doors to distant places. “It’s a type of space magic. Of course, the door must be connected in advance.”
“Oh oh…!”
Everyone admired him and cheered.
Selena, who blinked for a moment after hearing those words, said.
“I’m sorry, but there is no door at the entrance to Mangot.”
Ospreet responded as if he didn’t care.
“Don’t worry about that.”
His gentle smile instills trust and reassurance in times like these.
“The ‘Moon’ is also prepared for Frontier.”
